I assume you have an employee table with all the information. I would create
a combo box based on this table and include all the columns you want to
"bring up". Name the combo box cboEmployeeNum. You can then add other text
boxes and set the control sources to something like:
=cboEmployeeNum.Column(1)
=cboEmployeeNum.Column(2)
=cboEmployeeNum.Column(3)
Theses text boxes will display the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th columns from the combo
box.

The combo box is on a form. Where did you want to type in the employee
number?

I assume you don't want to store duplicate data.
